> The question about "the daily little things" versus "saving it for the special occasions" got me to thinking about romance--something I do frequently but am not very good at. Here's my little problem. Oh! Did I say problem? I mean, question. I don't have romance problems, being the hunk that I am and all. heh...heh...yeah.

> Anyway, let me first set the stage. I am currently out of work by my own choice. I do have a small occasional income, but it isn't steady and it isn't much. Therefore, I do not have much money at all. Actually, I haven't enough money to put gas in my car most often. This really takes its toll on my social life. Having gone through a pretty tough break-up in the past 2 or 3 months, I am anxious to get back into dating. As a matter of fact, I have several girls in mind that I would like to go out with. However, given my financial situation, I don't see how it would be fair for me to ask anyone out seeing as how I do not have the money to take them anywhere. So, my problem is this: I want to go out with someone, but don't have the money to pay to go anywhere. My question to you all is this: How would you deal with this situation, or how would you react to being asked out by someone who obviously doesn't have any money?

It's been 50 years since I've faced the problem of having a social life without any money, but I'll bet the solution is still the same.
Get a job.
